It's Mug Season Once Again!

Yesterday I delivered mugs to the Downtown Diner in Augusta, one of eight local coffee shops participating in Mug Season, a fundraiser for local arts programs. And local potters, including yours very truly. Here's the list:Downtown Diner, Augusta, MaineSlates Bakery, Hallowell134 Main St, WinthropBagel Mainea, AugustaGardiner Food Co-op, GardinerGreen Bean Coffee Shop, South China The Olde Post Office Cafe, Mt. Vernon Sheepscot General Store, Whitefield

Here's how it works: Stop in one of the shops, buy a handmade mugs (for the low, low price of $18!), get a free cup of coffee. I love the win-win-win aspect of this event: customers get free coffee and a bargain, the shops get customers seeking them out for the Mug Season event, school districts get a little cash, and us? Well, the potters get a check during a time of year when checks are a little thin on the ground.
